By MANILA, Philippines — House of Representatives Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III and former Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez have offered greetings to Filipino Muslims as the holy month of Ramadan starts, with both saying that they hope this will bring renewed faith and deeper solidarity.
In a statement on Thursday, Dy said Ramadan is a month for solemn prayer and reflection, which would remind people about one’s discipline, sacrifices, and care for others.
“Sa ating mga kapatid na Muslim dito sa Pilipinas at sa buong mundo, isang mapagpalang pagbati sa pagsisimula ng banal na Buwan ng Ramadan. Ang Ramadan ay panahon ng pag-aayuno, taimtim na pagdarasal, at mas malalim na pagninilay,” Dy said.
